The IT expert who set up the forum for me was Sadik Bahemini form Delhi in India. He did it at less than half price because it is a religious forum. ..and did a brilliant job, I think he put many,many more man hours into it than he got paid for. Everytime I see the description , 'Messenger' in the trophy section I think of his, as Messenger ' of course is how Islam describes Mahommed and I think Sadiik consciously or unconsciously was relating to this. We don't often use the term in Catholicsim, though I remember Malachi describes John the Baptist as the Messenger of God. Malachi 3:1"I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. I will always be thankful to Sadik, not so much for erecting the forum dirt cheap as a charity but for reminding me not to be intolerant of Islam. I often pray for him. Jamia Masjid Mosque , Delhi.
Someone was asking abut the trophy system, Sadik set it up: But I think it goes: 100 points, messenger 300 points angel 750 points arcangel. With so many points per number of posts. But I have no idea how many posts per point. But generally the more you post the higher you go. I am afraid to delve any deeper in case I blow something up.
When Awaitwithjoy left the forum it was clear they wanted to go without fuss, so I respected this and did not post about it.
When I read you post Padraig, something in my chest just welled up. I almost started crying. It was such a deep desire to have union. SUCH A DEEP, DEEP DESIRE!! God have mercy on the whole world!
For those that are interested, here is the trophy breakdown below. This scale was based on the old system of 10 points - messenger, 30 points angel, 75 points arcangel. The points line up with the old scale. So from what I can tell the most points you can get is 123. Based on the new scale which is 100, 300, 750 it is only possible to get to a messenger and no higher. That was how Sadik set it up originally. 1 First Message Post a message somewhere on the site to receive this. 2 Somebody Likes You Somebody out there liked one of your messages. Keep posting like that for more! 5 Keeps Coming Back 30 messages posted. You must like it here! 10 Can't Stop! You've posted 100 messages. I hope this took you more than a day! 10 I Like It a Lot Your messages have been liked 25 times. 15 Seriously Likeable! Content you have posted has attracted 100 likes. 20 Addicted 1,000 messages? Impressive! 20 Can't Get Enough of Your Stuff Your content has been liked 250 times. 30 I LOVE IT! Content you have posted has attracted 500 likes.
So Jimmy, are you saying we're going to stuck in a " Trophy Purgatory " ? I'm already dreading that in the next life, now I have to worry about that here too ? LOL.
LOL Glenn...you got it. Only a reprieve from the Forum God can ease your "Trophy Purgatory" suffering...haha.
woo hoo Born again..I just noticed that my username is the first on the member list coincidence ?? or the fact that "WHO IS LIKE UNTO GOD" should be number one
I think I may change the whole system to the 9 choirs of angels. Sadik would not have known about the 9 choirs. Though they (Islam) do very much believe in angels. So nine ranks up and up...to Seraphim. I will crash the system..wait and see... First Sphere 1.1 Seraphim 1.2 Cherubim 1.3 Thrones or Ophanim 2 Second Sphere 2.1 Dominions 2.2 Virtues 2.3 Powers or Authorities 3 Third Sphere 3.1 Principalities or Rulers 3.2 Archangels 3.3 Angels
think that may be sooner than you think after you reset every ones profile to new member did you happen to adjust their profile settings ????? I had to untick Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply... and receive email notifications of replies just watch your wee email server doesn't get over loaded and start smoking..
I find it hilarious that the more talkative we are the higher up we go. Usually it is the humble, the meek, the silent
